ncjetman Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Geno Smith is a backup and has been for how many years now. Sam’s gonna be in the league for a long time as a backup. In all honestly probably longer than Wilson’s career.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile appthanks - i was waiting for the obligatory - “ i thought this was my 5th grade class fb” comment - you didn’t disappoint Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The Jets getting a top 40 pick for this guy should be constantly mentioned with how much we got for Adams. I’m not the absolute biggest JD supporter but you have to give him credit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 no. the Panthers pay him 18.5 mil no matter what. if a new team wants him they could sign him for the league minimum and just have to pay that. the Panthers then pay the difference. ex: if you sign sam for 1 mil then you pay him 1 mil and the Panthers pay 17.5mil its actually going to be the opposite. teams might call him.And someone will. Even if it’s as a backup. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Jet Fans like to gloat over how they took the Seahawks and the Panthers to the cleaners over unloading Adams and Darnold. But these deals have an ominous side. Joe Douglas will earn the reputation as The Flim-Flam Man. Nobody will want to deal with him. Remember that the next time you someone stating "we should trade up or trade down" in the Draft. One of these types of deals is something to snicker about, but two in consecutive years is asking for trouble.People will be cautious in dealing with him because he makes good trades but there’s nothing dishonest about what he did. The Seahawks and the Panthers probably thought they were taking him at the time.

It’s not that hard to foresee. We at least got a solid return on our investment. Which is more than I can say for the vast majority of failed 1st round QB’s throughout the leagues history. A team like the Bears got dick for Trubisky and he was more accomplished than Darnold. One thing missing....Sam will not start a game for 3-4 years....go into a WEEK 18 game playing for a 2 win team vs. NYJ. NYJ will only need to beat this dreadful team to secure a spot in the playoffs. Sam will throw for 4 TDs 0 INTs and lead his team to victory and our team into another decade + long tailspin to the depths of hell.... Happy Friday! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW more accurately "Big Name" should be replaced with Big Contract players. In that list is Sam Darnold. Bleacher has picked up the Panthers are so dissatisfied with Darnold they are willing to eat nearly all of his 2022 salary which is guarranteed. That's 18.5 million worth of base salary. The Panther hjave very little to gain with such a move. All they would pick up is a 273,000 dollars paid as a bonus and Darnold's roster spot. For 18.5 Million do you think the cellphone of Darnold's Agent will be blowing up ? Something tells me Sam is going to be spending alot of time at home next year. It's amazing how people will picj up any little blurb about a Darnold failure. He isn't getting cut. I don't care how bad he has played, that 18.5 million guarantees he will have a roster spot. I am sure they will bring in competition and he will have to earn the starting spot but he will be on that team. Cutting Darnold with that salary is wildly irresponsible.

UntouchableCrew Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Why would they cut him? I can't imagine he's a bad locker room presence. Worst case he's just a really, really expensive backup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those 5 seasons, he accounted for 605 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 20 int, 6 forced fumbles, 7 fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown. His best statistical season, and perhaps his finest season ever as a pro was in 1989 when he recorded a team-leading 155 tackles, 7 interceptions for 170 interception return yards,1 fumble recovery and an interception returned for a touchdown. He was named to 3 Pro Bowls and named All-Pro twice while with the Cardinals. Was he that guy that did that chicken seizure thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 If his agent is smart, the first call they're making is to the Washington Commies, because Sam, weak tho he has been, would still be a upgrade to Taylor Heinicke. That's gonna be the thing for Sam, same as it was for Sanchez post-Jets. They're proven busts now. They'll have to find a spot to get some "waiting for the new draft pick" starts, or spot starts, and really make something of those opportunities. The Commies look to be drafting a QB this cycle. but whomever they draft assuredly won't be ready to be a day 1 starter, this isn't that kind of draft class. If they go with a Pickett, for example, I could easily see a "hold the fort" starter, a Darnold, a Trubisky, etc. brought in to play QB for the first half of the season or more. Getting our of dysfunctional Carolina and it's overreliance on a single fragile RB would probably be good for Sam. But it'd be up to him to actually make something of what might be his last opportunity to do so. The NFL doesn't generally give fourth chances to start to bust QB's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BARON Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Darnold has never been matched with the correct offense. He is a "stylist" and will not work in most offensive systems. He needs to be matched with a contemporary version of the 1980's Joe Bugel / Redskins Offense. Heavy on smash mouth running with misdirection. Counter Trey, Counter Gap, moving the pocket regularly and LOTS AND LOTS of play action. Replace any of the sweeps with screen passes. Fly patterns on the edges replaced with slant and go or hitch. You get the idea. He would do just fine in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I like Sam Darnold and always have. But I think it would be interesting if each of Sam and Zach Wilson created a log of how they spend their days this off season, going forward. Maybe they both do the same amount of work of the same quality. But something tells me that will not be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k8 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The quality of back-up QBs in this league is abysmal. If Sam wants to be in the NFL for the next 5-7 years holding a clip board, he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
